As white smoke poured into the sky above the Sistine Chapel yesterday, the world anxiously waited to hear who the new Pope would be. As always, Twitter provided running commentary.
The new Pope is off to a bad start. Wearing white before Memorial Day…Oy.

Congratulations to the Vatican on the new pope! And this time, they found one who never was a Nazi! (we hope, he’s from Argentina)

Don’t call the new pope Francis – his name is Frank – If you call him Francis he’s gonna kill you
